    Hi I have a still air bator with 40 eggs to lockdown tomorrow. First time using it. Do you all fill all water spaces with water. Do I need to add watered sponges. It also has two stoppers that open holes on top. Do I need to remove them. Don't have directions, got thrown away by accident. Any help appreciated.

    I think some of that will depend on your ambient humidity. (Here it is so dry that I can't get my humidity high enough)

    What knd of bator do you have?
    I found a manual for a Little Giant.
    And general instructions for a still air incubator.

    I had to fill all mine and add 3 sponges to get humidity up with the vents open. Had 6 hatch and waiting on one slow poke. Now humidity is too high. Trying to bring it down. Still have 6 eggs that aren't due untill wed in there. Good luck.
